Well to be fair, Ingram is better than Buga as well.



Fournette is a better RB at 20 than Ingram is after 5 seasons in the NFL.

You aren't wrong, but that's a really stupid statement

Henry had 42 yards on 13 carries, 3.23 ypc, and 1 fumble in the 2nd half until the final drive.. and damn that was a soul crushing 9 minute drive

And then on 3rd and 9 with a few minutes to go he goes off with a 29 yard rush and the rest is history.

For sure. It's sad that such a great program rewards such a shitty fanbase. Some of my closest friends are gumps and they are good people but their is a huge and loud portion of gumps that don't deserve the accomplishments that the Bama program has had. What is it? 8 losses since 08?

I think his point was the Ingram won a Heisman with 2 30 yard performances. He ran for less than 60 yards 3 times and less than 100 yards 5 times.

Fournette had 31 yards in a soul crushing loss knocking you out of the playoffs. The rest is history

It's just a fact. And then he went off and that contributes to an overall very impressive performance.

If Buga had busted out a 70 yard run with 0:45 to go on the clock no one here would be giving him credit for a 100 yard rushing game. I think that's a fair statement. Garbage time yards are garbage time yards.

Pretty sure Ohio State and Notre Dame are Heisman U with each having 7 Heisman winners.

Maybe ESPN can find an incarcerated relative in Henry's family to garner the sympathy vote like they did for Ingram.

Ingram deserved the Heisman almost as much as I did. Toby Gerhart was robbed.

So you ignore his first half stats entirely AND his last drive?


So essentially you want to ignore almost three full quarters of football and focus on one quarter, AND he still had more yards and a higher ypc than Fournette in that time.
